A second planeload of humanitarian aid has been successfully delivered from Armenia to Syria, organizers of the non-governmental relief effort said on Wednesday.
Vahan Hovannisian, a leader of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) party conducting the "Help Your Brother" campaign, told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am), that a Syrian plane carrying about 2 tons of medicines and powdered milk reached the war-ravaged city of Aleppo on Tuesday night.
Hovannisian and other Dashnaktsutyun leaders launched a fundraising campaign last month, citing the need to help ethnic Armenian and other civilians caught in Syria's bloody civil war. They have since collected more than 40 tons of foodstuffs, medication and other supplies as well as cash donations.
